50 Jobs To Be Created By SurveyMonkey

SurveyMonkey is to open an office in Dublin, creating more than 50 local jobs.

The online questionnaire platform will employ the staff over the next year to support the company's many existing Irish and European customers.

The new employees will join the existing international team that is relocating to Dublin from the company's Lisbon office.

Welcoming the announcement, Barry O'Leary, CEO, IDA Ireland said: "SurveyMonkey is yet another example of a high growth Internet Company establishing a presence in Dublin to serve its growing customer base.

"SurveyMonkey is one of a number of companies from Silicon Valley that have chosen to locate a strategic part of their international operations in Dublin."

Luis Franco, VP, International Operations, SurveyMonkey, added: "This new office will ensure we can further educate our international customers, all from a central multi-lingual, multi-cultural location. The convergence of language talent, technology know-how and cultural savvy makes Dublin the ideal base from which we can meet the needs of our international customers."

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD, commented: "A key part of the Government's Action Plan for Jobs is attracting more 'born-on-the-internet' companies to Ireland.

"We have seen significant success in this area, with most of the biggest names on the internet establishing offices here, and Dublin can now claim with justification to be the internet capital of Europe."

Recruitment for the positions has already started and can be found via the SurveyMonkey website.
